LII. hiCndrusOn, superintendent Oh
public schools, then said:
1.-Two thousand singing, and
praying school children are enough to
fill superintendent heart full TO
overlooking.
As one who is, in certain sense,
the guardian and protector of these
children, L have listened to their
words of love aud praise in the church,
IN the school room, in the school yard,
ON the street, as they have passed TO
and fro, and wherever they have been;
and there is no otEer conclusion to be
reached than that the impression
made on their young hearts is deep
and real. We should praise the LORD
for the good work done by Major
Cole for the children of Sedalia. .ip
[Question by Major Cole, from the
pulpit. Now | just want to ask DR.
Richardson whether or not these meet
ings have taken the attention of the
children from their studies, so as to
have bad effect on their record la
school? tu....... ... o
Answer. From my observation,
the children interested in these meet
ings have done better in their studies,
have been more easily disciplined,
and have received deep religious i'm
preston. Not mere transitOry thing,
to last but moment and then vanish
away, but one that will tell in eternity.
The fathers and mothers of Sedalia
should join in thanksgiving to God
that, througi the fundamentally of
Major Cole, the faces of their children
have been turned to Jesus. '.' f"
Rev. B. f. Boiler, pastor COngre-
CATION church spoke as follows:
"Our brother to whom our hearts
have bren knit, knows us too well to |
suppose that anything We NAV say is
adulation. That is Gods work and
to Him belongeth all the glory. There
Is in hearts of pastors and people
more than we can tell Of how we have
come to love this our brother, eve the
little children and those feeble with
age are ever bearing in their hearts
the silent prayer, "GOd bless Major
Cole" and it will be the prayer of many
every day of their lives henceforth.
Young converts by the hundred will
bless God for having led Major Cole
to our fair city to which he has
brought the best boon possible-Sal-
walton. Major, when you stepped off
the train there was but one to meet
and greet you, but on your leave
there will be thousands who delight to
call you friend and brother, who will
follow yon with their heartfelt prayer
and farewells not only as you depart,
but all through your life ever prayer
fully eager to hear of your GOd-given
success in winning souls-ever breath
ing the heaven-bOrn petition "GOd
bless our Major" When these shall
come down to the dark river they
will say, THANK God for having sent +
Major Cole to reveal to me risen
Lord making it all light" and
whether they pass over before or after
you do, MajOr, with the joy of saliva
ton lighting up their faces, and with
greeting they will say, God. bless
you Major, praise the Lord, we'er
home at last, Pm SO glad we got &C.
quainted in Sedalia. " Through all eter-
nifty they will praise God for you and
your work and you viii have the ines
Unable delight of meeting there rich
harvest of souls from Sedalia. You,
my brother will carry with you our
greatest blessing, which you so covet,
viz. the prayers of this people. From
our hearts and fireside affairs will ever
ascend the petition, "GOd bless Major
Cole and give hin the hire of mary
souls" .5... ....v- Il
